- Mr Lucas has been fantastic. He is an incredibly caring person who carefully considers my daughter’s quality of life alongside her treatment plan. I’m very grateful to him and the team at Portland and so far her treatment has been seamless and with great results.
- After a great experience and successful spinal surgery with Mr Lucas for our eldest daughter, there was no question in our mind to contact him again when concerns for our youngest daughter emerged. We cannot convey our gratitude enough and unreservedly recommend his services.
- My first visit with Mr Lucas until today has been fantastic. He put me at ease about the surgery and couldn’t have done anything more to have improved the experience. Since I have had the surgery my recovery has been excellent and the after care I received was phenomenal.
